Q7155 isn't short, but measured approx. 72ohms on pins 1/2/3. Isolated the low resistance to the PPVIN_S5_HS_GPU_ISNS line. Wondering, is the normal resistance for this line as the board boots up to OS with no issue, either with battery or with magsafe, and with both (except with the MagSafe...
Original issue was laptop won't power on with MagSafe. Replace U7100 to correct this issue.
With the battery plugged in, the MagSafe flashes (long green, then short green, then repeat). Laptop powers up still and runs, but battery won't charge. Runs fine with only battery or MagSafe, but once...
Hello don't know if this will help, on a 820-3662, had the same issue where it doesn't register any audio device. it ended up being the audio codec chip. You may want to try looking around that area, make sure its getting all it's power.
Gents you all are awesome. Since the backlight circuitry was working, looked into the display and found the backlight connector on the display was unplugged. Thanks a lot guys.
Hello,
Have a 15in retina with no backlight. Replaced the lvds connector due to corrosion but still no backlight. PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT measures @ 54.76v, PP5VR3V3_SW_LCD @ 5.017v.
I've ohmed out the connection checking from the pads on the board to the other end of an lvds cable (not connected...
Yep, removed U1100 and confirmed PCH is intact bad. Is it possible to pull and replace it using a hot air rework station, i currently do not have a BGA rework station?
If U1100 of the 820-3787 board, the intel HM87 chipset, if thats bad (resistance reading on USB_EXTA_N is around 6ohms with a good board being about 1Mohm), could this be the cause of boot up being stuck. I'm just concerned that this board as a lot more failed components.
If i leave the audio codec chip out, could this be what causing the boot to hang? Was holding off installing a new one till after i confirmed board didn't have any unrepairable fails.
820-3787, audio chip - U6201
Bios chip hasn’t been touch from what I can see. The customers kid accidentally plugged a usb cable that was plugged into a power source into the USB port killing the the logic board. Took out the Audio codec chip, USB port power switch for the left usb, along with a couple diodes around those...
Has anyone had this issue before and what did you do to resolve it:
MacBook pro 15, 2013.
Boots up to Apple logo and the progress bar loads all the way but never switches over. The keyboard back light even lights up, as though it was at the login screen.
so far I have done all the usual SMC...
Hello,
Can an A1502 SMC be used to replace a A1398 SMC? I've just replace two different A1398 board (820-3662, 820-3738) smc due to no power, with ones taken from a A1502 boards. Now both A1398 boards right fans aren't working. I've confirmed the below voltages are present.
